Hey everyone! I’m nearing the end of my 500E restoration and would like to find these parts listed. Would prefer NOS if possible but good condition is fine too. Thank you!
 
I believe you can still get new turn signals from places like AHAZ etc. they are made by Automotive Lightibg, which is the folllow-on company to Bosch who originally made them. They are not too expensive. I bought new ones in 2020 as part of my Front End Refresh (albeit for facelift cars).

Not sure about tail lights.

Front filler plate — that’s gonna likely be a used item from a forum member. $$$!!!
 
Front turn signals by Magnetti marelli aka automotive lightning are excellent quality, but one downside to them for me is that they are not as deep dark amber like hella turn signals that I bought 7 yeas ago when they were still available. Of course both of them are OE, with MB star removed. I will try to post comparison picture soon.
 
Filler panel - there's an OE panel on eBay right now, plus aftermarket reproductions. Take your pick.


Both the USA "light" amber, and Euro "dark" amber front turn signals are still available new from the dealer. The Euro/Hella darks are significantly less expensive.

USA light amber:
124-826-02-43
124-826-03-43

Euro dark amber:
124-826-04-43-64
124-826-05-43-64


The complete taillight assemblies are NLA, and the pre-facelift USA lenses have one side NLA. The pre-facelift Euro tail lenses appear to still be available but one side may be difficult to obtain in USA, you'd need to contact a dealer directly (can't buy online), or contact the MB Classic Center.

Euro amber (pre-facelift) rear lenses, Hella:
124-820-07-66
124-820-10-66

Appreciate all the help and insight guys! I purchased the OEM filler plate on eBay and will be reaching out to my dealer and the classic center next week
